• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES117 - No authorization to delete definition & ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES117 No authorization to delete definition & typically occurs in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module when a user attempts to delete a definition (such as a planning object, master data, or configuration) for which they do not have the necessary authorization.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to perform the delete operation. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in their user profile.
  Object Locking: The object may be locked by another user or process, preventing deletion.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the system may restrict deletion actions based on business rules or settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization objects are missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions to delete the specific definition.
  
  
  
  Request Additional Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, they should contact their SAP security administrator to request the required roles or permissions.

  Review System Configuration:
  
  Consult with your SAP Basis or APO consultant to review any specific configurations that might be preventing the deletion of the definition.
  
  
  
  Testing in a Development Environment:
  
  If possible, test the deletion in a development or quality assurance environment to ensure that the issue is not related to the specific data or configuration in the production environment.
